Change.
Inevitable, you surmise.
But some are just so unexpected.
They catch you by surprise.
The reason eludes you,
Leaves you scratching your head.
At night, it keeps you awake,
Away from the comfort of your bed.
Memories surface
Of shared good times and bad.
You wonder what happened.
You can’t help but feel sad.
How long will you allow, though,
The suffering of the unknown,
When no words are said
And only coldness is shown?
Loving from a distance —
This may be the key.
Forgive, move on forward,
And set yourself free.
